This aluminium rear hub carrier is a drop-in replacement intended for Team Associated RC18T and RC18R chassis. It replaces the softer plastic carrier with a tougher mounting point for the rear links and wheel hub assembly.
Make sure the part matches your RC18T or RC18R chassis code before ordering. The design allows reuse of the wheel hub hardware and bearings removed from the original carrier, so stock suspension geometry is retained unless you move link locations or fit other aftermarket items.
Fitting the carrier is simple for anyone used to basic RC maintenance. Typical actions are removing the old carrier, transferring bearings and hub components, positioning the new carrier, and tightening with the original fasteners. No specialised tools are required beyond common hex keys.
For setup and tuning, an aluminium carrier stiffens the rear mounting area compared with plastic, helping to preserve toe and camber under load and giving a more predictable rear feel when adjusting suspension or adding upgrades.
